To bobpursley,
the half life is 40.(potassium 40)
1 answer
You are mistaken. Potassium 40 has a half-life of 1.248×109 years. So two half-lifes is twice that. You need to learn what the 40 means in Potassium 40

Potassium-42 has a half-life of 12.4 hours. How much of a 1600g sample of potassium-42 will be left after 36.0 hours?
Top answer:
m = mi e^- k t 1/2 = e^-k *12.4 ln 0.5 = -12.4 k k = -.693 / -12.4 = .0559 so m = 1600 e^-.0559*36 =
